Chapter one

"No one loses their innocence. It is either taken or given away willingly."

-Tiffany Madison

The BAU team had been working nonstop on their latest case in Georgia where a serial killer had been taking men and women in their mid and late twenties to perform several chemical test on them for over a week before disposing of the bodies. So far between the random victims, besides the age, and the unidentifiable chemicals the team was barely having any luck on what this unsub's main objective was.

"They've found a new body," Hotch announced, entering the room that the Georgia PD had provided them to work in passing the new crime scene photos to Reid, Morgan, and Emily.

"What's with the photos man, aren't we going to the scene?" Morgan questioned.

"This is a child killed with the same M.O," Emily announced reviewing the file once more making sure she hadn't been mistaken.

"There hasn't been any recent missing child reports, has there?" Reid question, turning himself away from the board of previous victims, where he'd been searching for any other connections between them.

"We didn't think it was the same offender at first with the age being so off," Rossi started.

"Yet the medic reports show that it is twenty-seven year old Michael Smith," Hotch finished sternly causing the room to go into a state of shocked silence.

"ARe you kidding me, are we really going along the lines of age reversal, is this a joke, we all know that's impossible right? That's almost as bad as Reid's evil and eviler twin theory." Morgan exclaimed while Reid gave a defending 'Hey!'.

As if on que to break the tension J.J entered the room. "The press is out of control, they want to know if it's the same guy," she informed them.

"Tell them no, that it was simply another killer and that we can't yet get an identity for the body, if we're lucky he'll get provoked by it enough to make a mistake." The team leader informed her, then turning back to the other members as she left. "Reid have you found anything yet that will help us find out what he's doing?"

"Well, with the deaging factor" he said picking up the most recent photo, "maybe he is trying to help them regain their childhood because he can identify or empathise with them. I mean Michael was dumped as a failed experiment but he was neatly laid down as if the unsub was performing a mercy killing or had empathy."

"Why would the victims need that, we didn't find any obvious child trauma that each of them had in common, did we?" Emily inquired looking doubtful, I mean who can blame her all of this was crazy.

Almost directly after Morgan celled rang, causing him to open it and put it on speaker to allow the others to have insight on anything the whiz tech found."Hey baby girl, you got anything for us?"

"Oh, you know I do sugar, so you remember how none of them were reported missing by family?" Penelope asked, with a bubbly voice.

"Yeah but, none of them had family out here and they were single or in off and on relationships," Rossi put in.

"Exact-amongo, they all had unstable home lives causing them to move far away from parents and relatives."

"Garcia what age did the problems start at?" Reid asked.

"Well boy genius, if you must know around ages four and five. Why do you ask? Has there been a new killing?" She answered, worried about any more deaths.

"Sadly my sweetness," Derek broke to her.

"Garcia, look up the name Michael Smith," the 'Boss Man' ordered, signaling the sound of keys being typed on at the speed of light.

"Umm.. Oh okay so he as well did have some issues, traveling parents and constant moving in between the ages of two and twelve, but when any baby sitter would charge them a pretty penny in child neglect they'd usually win," she informed them.

"I think we're ready for the profile briefing," Aaron told everyone.

XXXLINE BREAK TO THE BRIEFINGXXXXXX

"The person we believe to be looking for is a white male in his early thirties to early forties who has most likely always been a member of this town, maybe a coworker or a neighbor, someone who can easily blend in and doesn't seem out of his place." Morgan began to the small audience who had gathered for the briefing.

"He would have mostly had home trouble from the ranges of neglect all the way to abuse." Reid shared in his normal anxious tone that appeared when he was talking to a large group, that was of course not his team. It also didn't help that this case, more so the profile, had parts that didn't fit and seemed off.

"Why the wide assortment of blanks and maybes?" Sheriff Williams asked.

"Well he could have been neglected and wanted to seek out a way to help people that had went through it but has failed so far or he could have been sextually abused and wanted to help people with that same issue yet for test runs he had a wider spread of victims. The possibilities are pretty much endless, but he definitely is empathetic more towards them in their child state," Reid told Williams blabbing on until he saw J.J's face, which looked bored and warning like.

"Sir," the deputy said interrupting Emily while she gave out the rest of the facts upon the deaging, warning them that the facts were not to be shared with the press.

"Yes, deputy Collins," the sheriff answered to his subordinate, slightly bothered that he'd interrupted.

"There has been a 911 call inside of a warehouse three blocks down from here, they heard shots fired."

This put the whole team on alert sending them into /BAUgonnakickyourassmode/, they separated into two of the SUVs with three police cars following them to the scene. "Morgan and Reid you will take the upstairs while Rossi, Emily, and I will take the down stairs. Keep close and look out for any chemicals or booby traps."Hotch ordered from the doorway of the building.

As Spencer and Derek took a look upstairs along with a few other officers something caught the young genius's eye causing him to stray all the way to the opposite side of where he'd been at with the others. As he opened one of the not yet searched same rooms he saw a man matching their previous profile surrounded by a pole of blood with a gun in his left hand pointed at his head. He rushed in with his IQ going from 187 to 19 in a matter of milliseconds to examine it but, due to the bad luck that everyone new he had, the genius was caught in a mist of chemicals set off by a oh so lovely trip wire that his feet stumbled upon while rushing to investigate. Once the mist had cleared Morgan pushed off the policemen who had to physically had to restrain him from getting to Reid, he was joined by his team, who had also heard distressed sounds.

A course of 'REID' and 'SPENCER' was yelled from the team as they raced into the room where they had know the young doctor to be. They entered with extreme care, making sure they were clear, before rushing to the dead body and what seemed to be a pile of their youngest's clothes. As they got closer they heard crying, the pile began to move and the team could only hope the youngest wasn't patient number nine at doctor deage.

The team half sighed in relief half groaned when a small kid poked his head through the clothes, how did someone get himself that screwed in ten minutes was a mystery. "Prentiss can you pick him up?" The fearless team leader asked the raven haired agent.

"Why not you? You have kids!" She exclaimed, already freaked out to see the youngest well young and having giant tears streaming from his doe like eyes.

"You are a woman and reid has a better relationship with his mother so if he doesn't remember his adult life he will feel better with a female figure." He explained, causing her to sigh in defeat not wanting an upset baby genius.

The little boy didn't make a fuss and sunk right into the woman's embrace, enjoying the touch, surprising all the the team's men. The fiercely independent kid genius was sniffling into her shirt, tiny hands grasping fabric as the other police men examined the body ushering them out of the room with the dead body while they had a child.

EMTs were waiting for them insisting they took the quiet child to the hospital in town. "Hey kid," Morgan began after he'd fought to ride in the ambulance alongside Spencer. "Do you know where we're at?"

The boy shook his head yes before replying "Yeah Derek," making the older agent let out a breath of relief, glad that Reid seemed to have his own memories.
